Abstract

In an air outlet device, a closure flap (9) is pivotably mounted in a houg body (1). The closure flap can be tilted in front of an air passage opening (3) by means of an actuating part (14). To avoid the closure flap (9), in its open position, taking up a considerable amount of space in the air exit shaft (4) and in order to keep the number of components required small, the closure flap (9) is of circular ring segment-shaped design in cross-section. The pivot axis of the closure flap (9) lies in the center point of the radius of the circular ring segment shape. The actuating part (14) is molded onto the closure flap (9).
